Lakers blogger took down blog herself

Laura Lane tells USA Today that she pulled her Blogspot site offline on her own. "I saw it was getting a lot of crazy attention," she says of her post about Vanessa Bryant cussing her out in public. "I really wasn't expecting to get this attention. Attention comes with controversy, and I didn't want that."

Lane says she didn't hear from the Bryants or the Lakers and plans to attend the team's next home game. "I hope so," she said, "pending my credentials."

ESPN Magazine also explains its (freelance) relationship to Lane. She covers Lakers home games for the ESPN.com.
